Mohair Yarn

Angora Goat

Mohair yarn comes from the Angora Goat and  is one of the oldest fibres in the world. When spun into knitting and crochet yarn it is soft, luxurious and durable. The fibre produces  an unusually strong and hard wearing yarn which has the useful property of resisting dirt particles.

However the long fibres which account for its attractive fluffy appearance can be irritating to sensitive skin so for this reason, as well as those of cost, mohair yarn is generally blended with synthetic fibres such as acrylic.

Originating in Turkey, where the production of this yarn was a closely guarded secret for many centuries, it is now produced in the U.S.A and S. Africa as well as its homeland of Turkey, which is where the yarn on this site comes from.

The goats are kept in small free ranging herds which are sheared annually in a humane and cruelty free manor so producing eco friendly fleeces.

One of it's other good qualities is it's ability to take a dye exceptionally well so you will find that mohair comes in a wide range of beautiful plain and mixed colours. It is also beautifully warm and insulating in winter whilst conversely being cool in the summer.

It is a very popular and wonderful knitting and crochet yarn which can be used for many different garments. It is soft and pleasant to work with and  is very suitable for lacy patterns and generally makes up very quickly.

I am sure that you will find something to suit your requirements but please check back regularly as we are always adding new yarns to our site. Or, if there is something you are particularly interested, please send us an e-mail, we will always be happy to hear from you.
